Hi Everyone

 My daughter was diagnosed with jra (poly) about three years ago. About four months ago her rhuemy diagnosed her with spondyloarthritis because of pain she was having in her heal while walking. He said that it has to do with psorosis that her aunt has (on the skin). My daghter also has some dry skin on her shoulder. Any way the doc changed her meds from metho because of her liver to Mobic and Arava. She is now getting break through pain in her ankle area and hip area. They also put her on prednisone the max dose. Her doc is now saying that she needs to go in Humira because of the break throughs. Is there anyone with this diagnosis for there child and on Humira? If so can you give me some info please. I looked up things on the internet and its pretty scary. Im just lookin for some one that is unfortunantl
